    I am..not Silas.

    I have a full plate bumper will have a winch and 1/4" plate skids. I'll probably get 720 ones or 750 with 2.5x8" fox shocks

    Nope. I will never have enough weight up in the front for that. I was considering going a bit heavier though since I'd like 3-3.5" of lift with armor/winch/1/4" skids.... i might just do that with top plate spacers though, since the eibachs handle the extra weight nicely. Don't watnt o waste too much money on IFS....
    Nice!!! You're not going to do a LT kit?

    Thanks, man! And yes it has... Hopefully the skill of the driver was soon get better than the abilities of the rig! haha I think I've become somewhat "throttle shy" after my lessons in Moab.... I'm getting better about it though. Still haven't broken those two "spare" CVs! :)

    i've definitely noticed a change in your wheeling style for sure..good to see you taking it easy on the rig and allowing it to do what you built it to do...sometimes it's nice to stay off the skinny pedal when it's not necessary..and from a couple of the videos you posted up, i'd say the driver skills are definitely improved...we'll need some redemption runs in moab next year
